“Hah! You tell yourself that. She's a dragon, and the rest of us are humans. Family, she calls us... The name's Griss, and I'm not the prisoner-taking type.”
—Griss

Griss is a character from Fire Emblem Engage. He is a member of the Four Hounds, an organization that plans to revive the Fell Dragon. He is a violent, insane, and dangerous magician. An alternate universe counterpart of him exists known as Gregory.

Profile[]

Griss is loyal to Zephia, whom he has known for most of his life. Devoted to the cause of reviving Sombron and restoring his power, he does not hold back in his confrontations with Alear's forces.

After Veyle steals the Emblem Rings and the Draconic Time Crystal that were in Alear's possession, Griss begins wearing the Ring of the Caring Princess and wields the power of Dark Emblem Celica in battle.

Suspecting the truth of Alear's origin, Griss voluntarily gives up his Emblem Ring to them so that he can watch them awaken the Emblem. When he sees Alear use an invocation, he laughs hysterically, as he is the first to realize the truth, and relishes Alear's horror as he informs them that they're not a Divine Dragon, but a Fell Dragon. Griss points out that Divine Dragons awaken Emblems with prayers, while Fell Dragons use invocations.

Later, Griss accompanies Zephia in guarding one of the Fell Dragon Shards. He takes a fatal blow in the battle and feigns death while the likewise defeated Zephia gives up what remains of her life to craft a magic crystal to aid Alear in reaching the second Shard. Once they are alone together, the dying Griss and Zephia bare their hearts, and Griss explains to Zephia that he always saw the Four Hounds as a family, and that he saw Zephia like a mother or older sister in his life. After Zephia passes away, content with this knowledge, Griss makes one last physical effort to turn his dying body so that he is able to die holding her hand.

Personality[]

Griss is noted for his extreme lust for violence, both relishing in the carnage he inflicts as well as masochistic pleasure in receiving pain. He craves punishment as a reward for good work, in contrast to fellow Hound Marni's desire for praise.

Though Griss keeps his feelings to himself until he is close to death, he loves Zephia as one might love a mother, or an older sister, for the way that she took him in when he was young.

Vs. Gregory

  • Gregory: I didn't wanna believe it, but...here you are. The "me" of this world.
  • Griss: What a shock. Aren't we just two peas in a pod? Is this some sort of Divine Dragon trick? If you're me, then you must relish pain. So I'll give you a taste of the finest pain as I kill you!
  • Gregory: What? Why would you think that C'mon, stop it! Fine. I don't like the thought of hurting myself, but...I don't seem to have a choice.

Vs. Alear

  • Griss: How do you like to be hurt, Divine One? I'm a people pleaser.

Chapter 23[]

Vs. Alear

  • Griss: That's a neat trick, getting killed but not dying. Just what I'd expect from the Fell Dragon's kid.
  • Alear: Griss... All else aside, I'm grateful you told me the truth. While I can't forgive what you've done, I do want to ask you one thing. Why are you doing all of this? Is Zephia making you?
  • Griss: What kind of question is that?! I'm here because I wanna be, OK?
  • Alear: I see.
  • Griss: Hah! How sweet! Worried about little old Griss! That's an insult to me and Zephia! I won't forgive that ever. Ever! EVER! I'm gonna hurt you every which way, and then kill you once and for all!

Vs. Mauvier

  • Griss: You come to take revenge? Or were you hoping the Hounds would take you back? We were a family, Mauvier. That makes us like brothers. No one would blame you for missing us.
  • Mauvier: I am here to strike you down. I have nothing more to say.
  • Griss: Geez, a stiff till the end. Guess there's no point in holding back the killing, then.

Vs. Veyle

  • Griss: So, Lady Veyle! Where's my reward?
  • Veyle: Reward?
  • Griss: The real Lady Veyle promised me all the agony my heart could want. I was really looking forward to it! The cold, the severity... But in the end, nothing. Not even a scratch.
  • Veyle: That Veyle... She's gone now.
  • Griss: Yeah, 'cause you killed her! So you can't be all bad. Now, you tell me—how are you gonna do it? Kill me, I mean.
  • Veyle: I'll never forgive you, Griss. But I never hated you, at least from the start. I think I understand why you were with the Hounds. Why you're you. But I'm not cruel. None of this will be... a reward.
